Description
Sokol Model 10 Reconnaissance Seaplane

Preceded by: None
Succeeded by: TBD

Designer: SKS
Introduction: 1913
Length: 3.85 m
Wingspan: 13.6 m
Power: OMN wLS-3/L 136 kW
Top Speed: 102 km/h
Range: 500 km
Ceiling: 2,700 m
Armament: None (8mm SKm wz.11 added in 1914, designated as typ.2 (400 rds carried))
Production: 12 built as typ.1, 84 typ.2 built between 1913 and 1915

Served on: CV Maruder Class, TwS-1 (1916)

Notes: Designed by the Sokol manufacturing company, the Model 10 was Pteroslavia's first feasible seaplane. Its wingspan was cut from the original 14 m to a sligtly shorter 13.6 m to better accommodate the proposed post as a ship-born seaplane. An odd feature was the ability to detach the wing and engine set from the main fuselage, further decreasing its storage size. This complicated it's operation, and reduced the structural integrity, but the feature was deemed useful and so, was kept. The design was accepted in March of 1913 as the wSR wz.13/typ.1 and an order for 12 was made in 1913. With the opening of the First World War, a machine-gun was added for the observer and and order of 50 was made, which were all delivered by September of 1914. A final order of 34 was made in November of the same year, with all planes being delivered by March, 1915.

Deemed obsolete in 1917, they were removed from active service by the end of the First World War

wSR wz.13/typ.3

Designer: SKS
Introduction: 1916
Length: 3.85 m
Wingspan: 13.6 m
Power: OMN wLS-4/L 172 kW
Top Speed: 128 km/h
Range: 600 km
Ceiling: 2,900 m
Armament: 8mm SKm wz.11 (400 rds carried)
8 x 15 kg bombs,
Production: 24 built in 1916

Served on: CV Maruder Class, TwS-1 (1916)

Notes: Higher speed modification of the earlier wSR wz.13 designed with a newer OMN 6-cyl engine. a cockpit was added for the pilot, whilst the observer remained the machine-gunner, set behind him. the capacity for bombs was added almost as an afterthought for the reconnaissance planes. They, like their older brothers, were deemed obsolete in 1917 and removed from active service by the end of the Great War. A single production order of these upgraded seaplanes was carried out in February of 1916, with all being delivered by August of that year.
